    So I just finished reading all of One Piece. I guess now I have to wait for new chapters, which is bullshit. But at least I can participate in spoiler posting when chapters do drop.

    When I got to Wano and looked at how many more chapters there were, I kind of assumed that the arc would have finished recently. I didn't count on it being bigger than ever.

    I been rewatching some Dragonball dubbed in Spanish since that's how I grew up watching it.

    Completely had forgotten that they changed Chi Chi's name in the dub because that's slang for Spanish slang for breasts.

    It took me 2 days to blitz through The Immortal Hulk and that "only" has 50 volumes. One Piece is... woof.

    11 volumes, 50 issues. The distinction is a big difference in US comics. I think Ultimate Spider-Man might be the only US comic that proceeded in the same direction with some (but not all) of the same creatives for nearly that length.

    There's other options of course besides dedicated resource cards and no resources or free resources. Letting any card be played as a resource is something I know some games have done.

    Incidentally, the original WoW TCG did this including having some cards have special utility when used as resources and I thought that made for interesting decisions at times as well as opening up fun design space.

    Well, it did take a few weeks. And included weekends spent mostly in bed reading. I kinda binged it the same way I did Elden Ring.

    I'm relieved that it's available (legally) without buying 100 volumes.

    Huh, that even beats Cerebus (1977-2004) by a few years, which I'd previously thought was the longest-running thing on a monthly schedule with the same team (Dave Sim and Gerhard).

    I think the record for overall time period with the same team might be Groo, which has the same writer and artist and somehow they've kept the letterer and colorist all these years as well. (Mark Evanier/Sergio Aragones/Stan Sakai (yes, that Stan Sakai)/Tom Luth) That's 1982-2021, though it's not monthly these days, they do mini-series every year or so.

    (there's a lot of other indies out there that have had a long run between first and last issue with the same team/person -- looking on the shelf here, couple of obvious ones would be Flaming Carrot (1984-2006, Bob Burden) and Bone (1991-2004, Jeff Smith), though again not monthly through those times, and there have got to be a bunch more out there that I don't know about. )

    (edit: duh, Usagi Yojimbo's been going since '84 (okay, '87 when he got his own comic -vs- guest appearances) and has been Sakai the whole time. Also there's an animated series of that coming out on Netflix -- the preview video makes me go "hmmmmmmm" but that's because I'm very used to the original art so anything different is going to look weird)

    Fred Perry is a crazy person. He hand animated an entire OVA. And also frequency did guest issues of other books or cranked out extra specials for his own. Not sure if he can still pull that off, but I wouldn't be surprised.

    Unfortunately everything else Antarctic Press publishes is basically trash.

    An argument could be made that Usagi and Mamoru aren't exactly the best parents either considering some of the events of Sailor Moon R. Not to mention dropping Chibi-Usa on their past selves' laps again in S for I believe 'training' (and probably to close off another time loop). Complete with a barely-intelligible note.

    Wouldn't be the last note sent to the past either. The co-ruler of future Japan (if not the world?), everyone.

    One Piece, regarding the ultimate goal of the strawhat crew
    The Oden flashback showed there being a road ponegliff on Fishman Island and it's not entirely clear to me if that one has been moved or if the strawhats simply missed it.

    Similarly, I think the ponegliff prints Brook got at Big Mom's place included a road ponegliff, but I don't think it was 100% clear.

    It's definitely gonna come up in the manga eventually, but it'll probably take a while.

    Hell, we're just getting through Ennies Lobby (I've read up to Fishman's Saga, I think)

    Fishman Island is a great arc, if for nothing else, by demonstrating just how much growth occured in the time skip. The villain is basically a carbon copy of Arlong on drugs.

    Literally!

    i don't agree with either point. i think it's fine either longform or weekly, or rather i don't think that's a criticism that matters to me, i am engaged with the story. telling a story as big with world-building this meticulous is hard and has few peers. it's not an invalid criticism if it doesn't work for you; but as the counterpoint i don't have a model of being more efficient at delivering this kind of story at this kind of 40+ issue a year output for this long, so you know whatever. i like the story, and how long A gets to B isn't that important to me even less so the whats, whys and wherefores the pacing, just not a thing that has much relevance to my digestion of the media. it's nice to have a weekly thing to care about, and it was fun to get caught up when the story caught my interest.

    totally valid if that is a stumbling block but eh doesn't rise to that in my estimation.

    The punchline in today's Wayne Family Adventures was excellent.

    The plot of the chapter was Bruce Wayne had been badly injured, so Alfred has banned him from being Batman for a few weeks so he can recover. Bruce keeps trying to sneak to the Batcave, but is stopped at every turn from one family member or another.

    Then...
    ...Bruce finally makes it to the Batcave, only to see Jason Todd there...who has stolen the tires off every vehicle in the cave.

    Summer Time Render's first episode went exactly as the promos indicated, which was kind of disappointingly predictible, to be honest.

    Just ep 1 stuff
    Three main characters getting their heads blown off by an evil clone and then time resetting to bad fanservice.

    I actually went back to some older shows with CGI, like Last Exile, and liked the CGI in them. I actually just basically think the animation quality of a lot of the stuff I'm seeing now is going down, or isn't properly matching the rest of the shows visuals (like its just badly juxtaposed, which even if the animation itself is good, that looks bad).

    I know I know I'm going to get told "well actually its better than it ever was" like last time.

    I'm sorry, this is not what I'm seeing. We will have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying literally every CGI I see right now is bad. But I'm seeing a lot more of it, and when its bad, it feels like its everywhere, because it literally is. The best CGI, however, nowadays, is basically unnoticeable. I basically realise after some time has passed watching it "Wait that was/is cgi" and I go "huh". I wish that happened a lot more.
